The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pastureland. This very poorly preserved rath (estimated diam. 22m) is defined by a very low bank (Wth 1.6m; H 0.35m) from SE to SW with another short stretch at WNW. A road cuts through it from N to SE and no visible surface trace of it survives to the NE of the road. A NE-SW running field wall cuts through it at W. There is a souterrain (GA113-131001-) in the S sector of the interior.
